In old Oregon

Denys and I lost internet connectivity at home on Tuesday, and Comcast can't send anybody out until Friday afternoon. I'm in Oregon now, surprisingly enough. I didn't think I was going to make it to the airport yesterday, because of the icy roads, and then after my neighbor kindly got me there, I thought my flight was going to get canceled after it kept getting delayed. It was scheduled to leave at 6:15, and we finally got off the ground at 11:10. We had Santa on board with us, and I won a bottle of wine by guessing the combined age of the flight attendants. I was going to guess 47, but then decided to go with my own age, 48.

We're having a white Christmas. Best get back to it.

Yes, it was exactly like losing a sense. Very disorienting. Like holyoutlaw, I kept having the impulse to do something on the 'net, and then being brought up short by reality. I accumulated a list of comic-book-related questions that I couldn't answer because I couldn't access comics.org or even Google! Friday afternoon was a blessing.
